Here's a fascinating concept for a book --
Lost Animals: Extinction and the Photographic Record by Errol Fuller profiles species that have gone extinct within the past hundred or so years, specifically, animals that were photographed before they disappeared completely. In some cases, the photographs presented provide evidence of the last known members of species. Fuller concisely describes the documented history of each species and the factors that led to its extinction. Worth the read if only to see the rare photographs. HM
